For many years, Microsoft has often tried to make a great effort to incorporate a multitude of keyboard shortcuts in its Windows operating system. This is done mainly in order to improve the speed with which the system works for its users, since in this way it is easier to carry out the most popular actions.

However, the truth is that there are quite a few keyboard shortcuts throughout the operating system, and not all of them are as popular, as could perfectly be the case of the keyboard shortcut made up of the Control + B keys, which may be of great use to you in some aspects.

Apply bold text anywhere using Control + B

As we mentioned, although it is true that there are keyboard shortcuts compatible with Windows that are quite popular, there are some others that are not so popular or are resisting, such as the case of Control + B, whose main mission is to modify the text towards bold.

In this way, if you are using some software such as a word processor, for example, you will have the possibility to select a fragment of the text that you are creating and, by pressing Control + B on your computer keyboard, you will see how it becomes highlighted in bold, which can be useful in some cases.
